Not Hot: The economic panic reporting regarding Greece. An important story, for sure, but I find it difficult to believe that our domestic economy would much notice the default of a country whose GDP is about the same size as that of our Maryland. Sounds more like priming the pumps for more bailouts to me.

Hot: FBN’s dismal ratings. I don’t think this can be explained away simply with their lower carriage rate.

Not: Chris Matthews about an FNC job offer…. from a decade ago.

Hot: CNN’s American Morning changes, including Ali Velshi’s new assignment.

Hot: Aside from HLN, we’ve been largely spared the minute-by-minute of the Conrad Murry trial.

NOT: The Gingrich/Cain “debate” on CSPAN. Newt sold books while Cain auditioned to be his VP. The elephant in the room was avoided..hilariously so when Cain said “there’s a lotta cheating in this country”. That’s comedy, people.

NOT: Lawrence O’Donnell calling for the firestorming of the National Restaurant Association HQ during his MSNBC show. Fortunately, his “suggestion” went unheeded, although his journalistic integrity took quite a hit.
